Pros

Honestly a good company. Great benefits, great pay. Clearly have a great engineering backside to the company. Excellent financing/marketing/merch. Corporate is the way to go.

Cons

That being said, if you start low at Verizon, expect to stay there for a long time before you move up. Unless you know someone to help you move faster, or you are a stud salesperson, then you will take 1 to 2 years to make management. Store managers stay there for a long time too. Best practice: just apply to higher position first to avoid wait or go corporate (if you can).

Pros

Compensation is competitive but you will work very hard for it. Culture is excellent and exhibited and practiced from the top down. Benefits are excellent and cost reasonable. 401k match and profit sharing. Lots of training and professional development opportunities. Can advance if you're willing to relocate.

Cons

Company is trying to transform into what it wants to be beyond a wireless carrier (cloud?, security?, telematics?, wholesaler?, etc) and is struggling with a vision, resources, and org structure to make it a reality. Several re-organizations over last few years so job security has frequently been a question. Often delayed response to competitors caused by management's concern that acting would result in not meeting Wall Street expectations. Not the "happiest" place to work because no result is ever good enough and successes aren't celebrated because the focus is always on the next weekly/monthly/quarterly goal.
